ERROR: YZR malfunction\u00a0file BLAHBLAH.DATA trashed or YZR code bug<\/strong><\/p>\n

Using Windows 7, I tried to open a SAS file created using SPSS 19 on my Mac and saved in Dropbox and got a brand new (to me) error. \u00a0I thought perhaps it was Dropbox, because that was brand-new to me also. I saved the file on a flash drive, made the great sacrifice of walking the three feet over to the Windows computer and got the same problem again.<\/p>\n

If you are getting this error switching from SPSS on a Mac to a Windows computer, here is how to solve it in five seconds.<\/p>\n

1. Instead of saving as a regular SAS file (sas7bdat) save as a SAS transport file (xpt). Both are options when you are saving your file in SPSS 19.<\/p>\n

2. When opening your file for the first time in SAS, use the code below.<\/p>\n

libname in xport \"g:\\mysurvey.xpt\" ;
\ndata newfile ;
\nset in.sas ;
\n<\/code>
\nFixed. Done. You’re welcome.<\/p>\n
